> Utility module to print pretty messages on SIGINFO/SIGUSR1
`SIGINFO` on BSD / macOS and `SIGUSR1` on Linux, usually triggered by
`Ctrl + T`, are by convention used to print information about
a long running process internal state. Eg. `dd` will tell you how many blocks it
has written and at what speed, while `xz` will tell you progress, compression
ratio and estimated time remaining.
This module wraps both signals, checks if the process is connected to TTY and
lets you do whatever you want.
## Usage
```js
var siginfo = require('siginfo')
var pkg = require('./package.json')
siginfo(function () {
console.dir({
version: pkg.version,
uptime: process.uptime()
})
})
```
## API
### `var removeListener = siginfo(queryFn, [force])`
`queryFn` can be used for whatever you want (logging, sending a UDP message, etc.).
Setting `force = true` will attach the event handlers whether a TTY is present
or not.
## Install
```sh
npm install siginfo
```
